Workman comp and hippa laws
My husband was hurt pretty bad on his job at nso fault of his own. After waiting 3 months we finally were able to go to an orthopedic trama surgeon. While at the appointment, the case nurse was upset because she wasn't allowed to go into the exam room with my husband, the doctor and me. She told us that workmans comp was excluded from hippa laws. My husband has not signed any kind of release forms or anything and I find this kind of hard to believe. Does anyone know if this is correct or if she was just trying to get her way? Thank you for your help.
